   VERSION: 0.1

This is a simple example of how to use the HobbyComponents Arduino analogue joystick
module (HCARDU0019). The module has three outputs, two 5V analogue outputs 
representing the position of the joysticks X/Y axis, and one switch contact output 
representing the joystick’s push button. The switch contact has no pull-up and simply 
connects the pin to ground when the button is pressed therefore a pull-up will be 
required.

This example program reads the status of the analogue and push button pins and 
outputs the result to the serial port.
to the UART.

MODULE PINOUT:

PIN 1: Ground
PIN 2: +5V
PIN 3: X-axis
PIN 4: Y-axis
PIN 5: Switch
